SUMMARY

Fatherhood isn't about perfection—it's about presence, moral consistency, and showing up when it matters most. In this heart-stirring episode from the vault, Bob Merritt shares powerful stories about those precious moments that define a father's legacy. From confronting hard truths with his college-aged son to the tear-filled goodbye when his daughter left for college, Bob reveals how staying faithful in the small things prepares you for the big moments that matter most.

TAKEAWAYS
  • Consistency in three areas—staying married, staying moral, and pursuing God—creates a foundation that enables deeper father-child connections.
  • Only strong fathers have the courage to ask their children where they need to improve; weak men avoid this vulnerability.
  • When your child makes concerning choices, choose thoughtful engagement over passive silence—staying in the battle is more important than saying everything perfectly.
  • The most meaningful moments in fatherhood are earned through years of faithful presence and moral consistency.
  • Choose laughter and joy in your home—a house that hasn't heard genuine laughter in months reveals deeper issues.
GUEST

Bob Merritt served as Senior Pastor of Eagle Brook Church for over two decades before transitioning to leadership teaching, consulting, and coaching. He is a father of two, grandfather of six, and author of several books on leadership and faith. Bob is known for his practical, down-to-earth teaching style and his passionate commitment to helping people grow in their faith and leadership.
